DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS History
The Jess Dunn institution was originally
constructed in 1930 and used as a mental
hospital for black patients only. Through
the years, the institution has been used as
a tuberculosis sanitarium, a juvenile girl’s
facility, and a juvenile co-ed home. In April
1980, the facility was transferred from the
Department of Human Services to the
Oklahoma Department of Corrections
(ODOC).
Jess Dunn served as warden of the
Oklahoma State Penitentiary from 1938
until August 10, 1941, when he was killed
during a shootout resulting from an
offender escape attempt. Also killed were
a sheriff’s jailer (a former OSP guard) and
3 of the 4 offenders involved in the escape
attempt. The remaining offender was later
executed for Jess Dunn’s murder.
The institution is located on approximately
1,100 acres and is comprised of six
major buildings that house residents and
administration. Maintenance shops, OCI
farm complex, laundry, vo-tech, supply, and
other support operations are housed in
other assorted buildings on the institutional
grounds. Originally, the facility was co-ed
